To me it looks like an over estimation of the capabilities for the tech. Same kind of thinking that led to lawyers submitting fake cases as support in court. The current tech can be useful but has to be verified and generally tweaked a bit to be good enough. It certainly has room for improvement in quality and just not lying. Real world use has some copyright questions with what the training data was. Applying it to something creative is questionable and more or less feels like uninspired remixes.

Also the whole graphic is kinda suspect to me when "Blockchain engineers" is a job category and it's produced by an org working on AI.

YTA

I grew up in the US reusing containers like that and still do sometimes. It's not a third world thing at all. I'm pretty sure it was to save money back then but it can be a eco thing too. Extended family and friends do this all the time too.

Recycling plastic doesn't work as well as you might have been told and it is more impactful to reuse or reduce. Glass and metal are better for recycling though.

Based on the post you care more about superficial things than your wife's feelings. Your friends are superficial AHs too. How much money do you all spend trying to keep up with each other?

They're removing more mods for staying dark or malicious compliance shenanigans. Whatever is left after this will be shells and shills.

Those who make the decision still have a full blown office with real walls and a door so won't be negatively affected. It's mostly pushed because the open office idea is cheaper and allows managers to see butts in seats. Studies show it's a bad idea but people talk about collaboration and whatnot as an excuse.

I mean these sites aren't going to implement anything like they want in these laws and few people are going to be up for using such a system. Yeah, they're just going to throw up a block and remove liability. Then people who know will just VPN.

I could see the industry using some system that's already built and free but not really develop one or take on more issues with personal information. Good luck with the government made browser extension that tracks your preferences though.

The internet can often never forget but things do get wiped out when sites go under. Think about random forums from a decade ago with dead links or images that aren't hosted anymore.

Some tweets actually get backed up by the Library of Congress so some percentage of voices are probably preserved.

There is a documented thing insurance companies have started doing where they deny claims until you appeal them. AI was being used somehow to determine which cases.

Well, that's going to be a lawsuit.

The rule in effect is rather narrow and doesn't actually ban home manufacturing. All the elements of a kit are still accessible and legal.

The only difference is that all the parts to finish the controlled part can't be sold together. So like you could by the 80% from one shop online and the jig from a different shop online. All the other parts wouldn't be affected in general, maybe an issue if sold with the 80%. And there are also other ways to do home manufacturing that would be completely unaffected but the rule.

Also the case isn't done. The order is a temporary stay where the court is asking the ATF lawyers to explain things.

If that kind of content was allowed here I'd delete my account. No, one wants that kind of trouble.

I think the first step is generally establishing communication first. Like they might learn signs by touch. Later they could be taught braille in order to read.

It's probably more than they don't think of covid as an ongoing thing. Stuff like wearing masks or having lockdowns isn't a thing anymore. A lot of things being done to slow COVID have stopped and people feel like it's over.

That or the shot isn't covered by government programs anymore.

It was always going to be an annual shot like the flu. That annual flu shot is to combat something that was a pandemic as well. We might even get combo shots at some point.

I mean we just limped through a pandemic, have rising inflation (no wages haven't keep up for decades), could see a recession/depression soon, kinda need to be worried about fascism again, and have climate change to deal with. I probably forgot about some stuff too.

The past is often tented in our minds either due to limited information of that time or because we were a kid at the time. It is also true that a lot of stuff is better. Still, people have good reason to worry about the current state of the world.

Because the average person isn't feeling an improvement when cost of living is up and wages are questionable. Wall Street bros doing ok isn't really representative of most people.

If the argument is that it could be worse well sure but that's not that glowing of an achievement. Not when trying to appeal to the general public.

That is really the only reason they've done anything in the past about subs. That or the risk of actual legal trouble.

Similar things happened to jailbait and thedonald. Without media attention those subs would probably still be active.

Dude, people are walking around believing that shit. Parody doesn't work when the extreme just has the same take.

Casual users probably just want shit to work and didn't know about the black out until it was happening. They won't notice why they should care until their app of choice goes offline or communities start falling apart due to modding issues. The issues coming from mods being pushed out, leaving, or having fewer tools.

On one hand people often don't like to hear bad news or an idea that means they have to do a thing or face a problem. On the other hand how a person is told the idea is a big part of a negative reaction. Often there is no reason to tell someone the thing at all.

I'll be straight forward if someone asks but I'm not "brutality honest". OP sounds like the "brutality honest" without anyone asking type.

Legit that would depend on how cheap the labor was and how long they need to pay them. Like shitty pay outsource labor to keep up appearances for a week or two could be a thing.

The plan could be to get IPO then dump stock before anyone realizes the entire mod team depends on Google translate.
